Firefox Goes for a Record, Breaks Mozilla Servers

By

The new version of the Firefox Web browser became available as a free download today, but the release was delayed nearly two hours as users visiting the crashed the Mozilla servers. Firefox supporters organized a world record attempt for most software downloads in a 24-hour period for the new category for Guinness World Records. The new version is available so you might want to get yours now while the servers are still up!

Mozilla hyped today’s Firefox 3 launch with a ‘Download Day’ appeal to Firefox users to all come get the new version at once and shoot for a new Guinness World Record. But some network difficulties handling that huge rush of traffic is keeping many visitors from helping Mozilla reach that goal.
